Silverado Smokehouse Game for some BBQ?

Please a crowd, chase away hunger any time of day

CORPUS CHRISTI - Are you ready for some football? Barbecue and football are two South Texas favorites, and Silverado Smokehouse restaurant is the place for melt-in-your-mouth barbecue. This establishment is known for hickory smoked meats including pork loin, chicken, brisket and Silverado's signature beef ribs.

Open seven days a week, dine in before the big game. The staff at Silverado's will cut your meat order to your specifications. Combo meals are a great value for the family. They include a meat choice plus two sides and a drink.

Order the St. Louis-style pork ribs or the sausage with macaroni and cheese and coleslaw as sides. A customer favorite is chopped barbecue on a bun. Be prepared to use a fork to pick up all of the meat as it falls out of the bun. Kids will love the little buckaroo plate with a fourth of a pound of specialty meat with one vegetable side.

Going to the football game and hosting a tailgate party? Silverado Smokehouse has everything you will need including the plates and silverware. A small tailgate party for four to five people calls for the Texas Rib pack which includes two and half pounds of pork ribs, two pints of vegetables, one side of barbecue sauce, one side of pickles and onions, and one side of jalapenos.

Inviting a number of friends to the parking lot party? The Lone Star pack feeds 14 to 16 individuals and includes five pounds of pork ribs, four chicken halves, four quarts of vegetables, one pint of barbecue sauce, one cup of pickles and onions and one side of jalapenos. Need desserts and drinks for the party? Silverado has whole pies or Texas size brownies by the dozen and ice tea or lemonade by the gallon. For larger party packs, Silverado requests a one day advance notice.

For the South Texas hunting season, instead of packing the usual baloney sandwiches, bring along barbecue. Load the cooler with Silverado's meats by the pound including beef ribs, sausage or brisket. Nothing tasted better than sausage wrapped in a piece of bread on a cool fall morning. Add in pint-size containers of vegetables including pinto beans or potato salad.
